Are you going through a difficult period or transition? Struggling to make sense of relationships or challenging experiences? I may be able to help. My name is Han, and I'm a therapist based in Edinburgh with years of experience counselling adults and young people. I have spent five years working with clients from various backgrounds and especially LGBTQ+ people. In the counselling room, I bring with me this clinical perspective as well as my own personal experience.
I'm trained in psychodynamic and person-centred approaches, and I often work with clients exploring the connection between their past and present. Other times, sessions stay more in the here and now, grappling with confusing, painful experiences, emerging or developed identities, relationships and more.
We walk through life holding and collecting stories about us and the world around us. Therapy can be a place where we explore these narratives and have the opportunity to create new ones. Please get in touch if you’d like to explore working together, or visit my website to book a 15-minute phone consultation.
